Welcome

Tackling litter and flytipping across Scotland costs over £53 million pounds per year, is bad for business and tourism, spoils the look of our environment and can be a danger to our local wildlife. The best way to deal with litter and flytipping is to prevent it occurring in the first place.

Everyone with a stake in the community has the potential to positively contribute to encouraging litter prevention. This includes all members of the community, from local residents, businesses and workers, to community groups, law enforcement, education and everything in between.

This portal allows organisations and groups to showcase the action they are taking to prevent litter and flytipping in local communities across Scotland by publishing a Litter Prevention Action Plan. These organisation level plans then feed into a Community Litter Prevention Plan which promotes partnership working and maximises the impact of everyone’s efforts across the local community.

Public users can search the portal to find out what action is being taken in their local area by:

Using the search box at the top of the screen to find your area, an organisation or theme

Use the map to zoom into your local area and select the orange ‘Community Plan’

This will display a list of action plans by organisations in the area at the side of the screen and on the map

The community plan will allow users to see what the group of organisations in that area are doing collectively to tackle litter and flytipping

Organisations and groups can upload their plans to the portal by:

Selecting the upload action plan button at the top of the screen and follow the instructions
